Season 7 Episode 20 - Yamadori Vs Nursery Stock, Terminal Issues with your Bonsai and Leaf Removal

Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

After recently visiting a bonsai show and seeing some amazing bonsai that were collected trees or yamadori, I think it is important to chat about expectations when comparing these nature impacted trees with nursery or 'man grown' stock. Can we compete with Mother Nature?? Terminal issues like wilt can and do occur and the end result can be heartbreaking. While we may not be able to treat these issues we can slow the clock and do everything in our power to try and prevent them. And when it does happen, it may not be your fault so don't be too hard on yourself. Late Autumn or Fall is a time when I work on my deciduous just prior to dormancy and I'll let you know why.
